Simon Pegg’s Real Contribution to Star Wars
Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams has shed light on Simon Pegg's involvement in the upcoming film. And while we already knew Pegg had a cameo in the film, Abrams says the actor's behind-the-scenes support was his greatest contribution.
"I will say this in terms of Simon: while he won’t be recognizable in the movie, in all honesty, his role in this – not the performance or the character – but his support and friendship has been massively important and helpful in the process," Abrams told EW of Pegg, who of course also played Scotty in the director's two Star Trek movies.

Consumer robot manufacturer iRobot has moved one step closer to freeing humanity from the shackles of walking behind, or riding on, lawnmowers. Its automated lawn-mowing robot has moved forward in the FCC approval process.
